The RSU can advise on and add value to your research project especially in the areas of discoverability, increasing impact, data management and preservation. We have experience in project management, developing business requirements and use cases, and working with developers, metadata specialists, and third party vendors.
The Library has created a guide to help researchers with the various stages of the publishing and impact lifecycle: Research Publishing & Impact
One of the first steps to achieving impact is to ensure your online profiles are well maintained. Go the Library's dedicated pages for information and to get started: Enhance Your Online Presence
Otago's institutional repository OUR Archive (Otago University Research Archive), offers long-term safe storage and managed access to your work, while allowing you to track how often it is viewed and downloaded. Depositing your manuscript here means you'll be complying with MBIE's Open Research policy. Your research will also be visible to a wider audience because it can be found by Google and Google Scholar.
For information or advice on uploading your research to OUR Archive, contact ourarchive@otago.ac.nz
The Library's postgraduate workshops on researcher profiles, research data management, getting published, and impact metrics provide an introduction to key topics related to building impact into your work. Go to the Library's Introduction to Library Resources pages for more information.
